Before I uninstalled Qt, I forgot to delete the Qt version in qtvsaddin. As a result, there is an invalid Qt version in qtvsaddin. If I don't reinstall Qt, what should I do? Thanks.
VS add-in (aka Qt Visual Studio Tools) is independent of installed Qt versions, in the sense that the list is maintain separately. You can add and remove versions as you want (even duplicated with different names). When you remove a version in VS it should be removed from both the list view and the combo box, so if it was kept there it is probably due to a bug in the add-in.
You can check the list of versions in the Registry Editor at HKCU\Software\Digia\Versions. You'll see there a key for each version as well as a value with the default one.
Close all instances of Visual Studio. Then remove your version from there and check that there is no value containing such version in HKCU\Software\Digia\Versions. Modify at your risk ;) (do a backup of the key before starting).
Firstly, I would not post here because I did not look up questions and answers already relating to this. I have tried the solutions, to little avail, as most questions revolved around previous versions, and were vague in some way. Below are the pages I visited:

https://forum.qt.io/topic/78962/how-to-use-qt-with-visual-studio-2017/13, this ruined my case even worse. Something temporarily broke down because of the last 2 steps, but was back again to normal after restarting QT.
How to build Qt for Visual Studio 2010, I have VS 2017, and the command line prompt for that doesn't recognize 'configure.exe'. This is the line of code:
configure.exe -release -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -no-qt3support -no-multimedia -no-ltcg
Building Qt for Visual Studio 2010 - cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib', related again to VS 10, should I really work on the 2010 version? Is there a way to configure it for 2017, as it is the tool I am most familiar with?
qt cannot open input file 'c:\Qt\qt\lib\qtmaind.lib', I have no idea what QMAKESPACE is. I just started yesterday with the intent of making my semester project in it, so I do not have any professional experience with QT previously, or any kind of experience in general. The link attached to the ticked answer, https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/supported-platforms.html, does not offer any kind of help. It just details what systems it supports. I am currently using Windows 10, version 1809.
https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/23917-fatal-error-LNK1181-cannot-open-input-file-qtmaind-lib, really lost me. Where are the qt sources that Nish is talking about? Are they from here: https://www.qt.io/offline-installers, from "Source Packages And Other Releases". Where are these files? Did they come with the installer from here: https://www.qt.io/download ? With what do I compile them with? Will these compiled files make some .exe files? Even more, these posts are from 2009.
What Is The Problem?
I watched the video by Derek Banas' series on QT ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I96uPDifZ1w&t=297s ). Here are the steps I took to set up QT:
i): Went to https://www.qt.io/download.
ii): Selected "Go Open Source", and then clicked on download
iii): Started the QT setup after download. In the packages menu, I selected
the default. This gave me QT 4.6.3.
iv): Made a new project as shown by Derek Banas.
v): Upon selecting the green arrow on the bottom left, with debug option chosen, I pressed it. It gave me the error:
LNK 1104: Cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib'
vi): Changed to release, profile, gave me this error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"in "".Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I tried reinstalling it. No use. I went here: https://www.qt.io/offline-installers, and download 5.12.1, the latest, plus the zip file in "Source Packages And Other Releases". Again performing the same as above, with the same errors.
Confused because the video did not address such an issue. Looked online. did not find much here, thus, I am here. My hypothesis:
i): This is something related to my path variables. Since both versions exhibit this issue, it means that fault is from my side, not QT's.
ii): Some windows .dll files are missing. But I do not know what files they are.
Before You Answer
Please just give me the directions I should move in to solve this issue. I do not have any idea where to go from here, but I really, really, really want to learn QT as part of my C++ learning, and I'm willing to work; I just lack the guidance.
If this is downvoted, please just send me some links which specifically address my issue so I can head over there. I would be very glad for the directions. :)
And lastly, thank you to all of you for reading through this wall of text!
Here are a few pictures of what I am seeing:
It finally worked!
If this is of some help to anybody out there, please do not select the default button at the installation phase. Depending on your time, please go ahead and select MSVC 64 bit, MSVS < 2nd Latest Version >, and MinGW < Latest Version > 64 Bit, that shows up at the installation time. This will allow you to use a different kit that you can use to run your application with. To access this kit, go to the green button, hover over it, or click it, and there will be a kit called, desktop QT MSVC 64-bit, and then select this, and then run your program. This will run your program properly.
I installed Visual Studio Code 1.1 with the C/C++ extension,
opened my C++ project and tried to use "Go to definition" in vain.
The "Go to definition" is not working at all.
Example, go to definition of a class member:
int i = m_myVar;
(I opened a simpler project with one file and it was working for this one)
In the end, what I want is good indexation of my big project, is there a way to install Intellisense?
I had a the same issue: F12 and Ctrl + Click and Right Click "Go To Definition" wasn't working.
The fix for me was:
Go to Extensions
Click "Disable All Installed Extensions"
Close and Reopen VS Code
Back to Extensions and "Enable All Extensions"
Essentially enable/disable all extensions fixed the issue.
I recently came across this same issue and after trying all of the suggested solutions I could find with no success, I found this article:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_visual-studio-code-is-unable-to-watch-for-file-changes-in-this-large-workspace-error-enospc
Basically my project grew too large and VS code was no longer able to track all files, which messed up the "go to definition" functionality.
After following the steps on the link to increase the maximum number of files to be tracked, the issue was resolved.
The correction is pretty simple (tested on Ubuntu 18.04):
Add this line:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
to the end of the file /etc/sysctl.conf
After saving, run the following command:
sudo sysctl -p
Hopefully this will be useful to someone else, this has been bothering me for the last few days.
I had a similar problem except with Python and google searches for solutions kept bringing me back to this post so I figured I'd post my solution here in the hopes that it might help other people.
I was working on a remote cluster through VScode Remote and was getting similar errors to the original question(all 'go to ___' functionality was unavailable and was even getting a 'too large to track' error) and I thought I had to increase the number of watches, which didn't end up helping.
All I needed to do was install a python interpreter on the remote VScode server. This fixed my problem.
I believe vscode 1.1 (well, 1.1.1 actually) + the C++ extension (cpptools) is as much Intellisense as we can get for now.
You should load your big project with the "open folder" function to make vscode know about the other files.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/cc-extension-for-visual-studio-code/ warns about letting the indexing finish first (red icon in lower right corner during indexing) and mentions the current limitations on the source code parsing.
It wasn't working on my laptop as well after installing a few VSCode extensions. I decided to close and re-open VSCode with administrator permission and suddenly it sorted out.
I have been trying to fix this for a long time. In the end, what worked for me was simply reinstalling VSCode, then installing the latest C/C++ extension (v0.18.1). Then, in your .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file, under includePath, add your include folder which has all your header files.
I tried the methods mentioned in this thread none of them seemed to work for me. A simple solution that worked for me is that I closed the current workspace and created a new workspace, added the folders which I required(same as the old workspace), and saved the new workspace. Waited for a couple of minutes to index and IntelliSense is able to find definitions now.
I am using VSCode 1.52.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.
In my case, for whatever reason,c_cpp_properties.json has become set to Disabled in ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json.
Manually changing it to Enabled solved the problem.
Fixed mine by UNCHECKING C_Cpp > Default > Limit Symbols To Included Headers
Your mileage may vary. Good luck!
Have you saved your workspace? Or did you just open a folder with File->Open Folder? This question already has many answers, but none of them address this case, which was my issue.
The question is not specific enough for me to know if you are having the exact same symptoms as my case.
If:
You have not saved your workspace. vscode doesn't say "(workspace)" at the top of the window.
None of the goto functions are working, but instead report: "No ___ found for ____"
The tag parser database icon in the bottom right is always there but only reports "Parsing open files", rather than telling you how many files have been parsed.
Then:
Try saving your workspace.
If you have multiple versions of a language on your PC, specify the exact language you are using in the VScode(in my case, I am using Python, so I must specify the version to the python Interpreter in VS Code)
If you could not do it whatsoever, then uninstall all the other versions that you don't use and then if you go to VS Code, it will ask the version to be used, and you would have only one version, so when you select the version, the "Go To Definition" will be activated.
I was having a similar issue with java on Ubuntu 20.04 using OpenJDK version 11 (openjdk-11-jdk in apt). At first I didn't have the JRE installed, so I installed it and it still didn't work.
Afterwards, I went to the CTRL + SHIFT + P menu and then to Java: Configure Java Runtime, there I saw in the Java Tooling Runtime tab that /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 was selected, changed it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 just to see if it would work, and after a restart it did. I'm not sure why this is, but I hope it may help somone else.
For python ensure your code analysis settings are correct. In my case the languageServer was accidentally set to 'None'. Reverting it to 'default' or 'pylance' did the trick.
Just to inform if none of above works then
In my case i was using Kite extension in my VS code, I just disabled it and it worked. I think kite extension is blocking this feature.
OS: Linux Ubuntu 22.04
if you encountered with following error:
"The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path."
Normally Vscode remains unable to locate .Net sdk. need to set path manually.
sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet
restart omnisharp & restart vscode
No need to do anything. Just close and re-open. It will work.
I also faced similar problem. In my mac os cmnd + 'click' is used to 'go to definition' then it suddenly stoped working. If that is the case then please follow these steps:
restart vs code
restart pc
uninstall all extensions and reinstall again followed by a pc restart.
I had a similar issue with the extension C/C++ installed. I solved it by downloading an older version of the extension and upgrading to the last version. Somehow it solved the problem...
Background:
I'm a big fan of using Codeblocks to do C++. I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and installed Codeblocks via the Ubuntu Software Centre.
My Problem: All is going great, apart from one minor thing which is missing. When I double click on a variable, other instances of that variable used to be highlighted too. This was an extremely useful way I debugged my programs. But it isn't here on the new version for some reason.
I would like the feature shown in the screenshot below to be set. Where is the option?
Please can someone help me out, maybe there's an option I'm missing?
Install the contrib plugins for Code::Blocks IDE (codeblocks-contrib) to enable occurrences highlighting in Code::Blocks.
sudo apt install codeblocks-contrib
In Code::Blocks select Settings -> Editor -> Occurrences Highlighting (scroll down in the pane on the left side to find it) and then put a check mark in the three checkboxes under Highlight occurrences of selection as shown in the below screenshot.
The three checkboxes to select are:
Highlight occurrences
Case sensitive
Whole words only
Then click the OK button to apply the changed settings. You can also put a check mark to the left of the two settings under Permanently highlighted occurrences in order to apply these settings.
karel -- Thank you very much for your answer. I believe this will be the thing which will solve most people's question.
For completion, I would like to document my different answer (for other forum users).
I simply had to install the optional extras on the Ubuntu software centre alongside the Codeblocks installation. The menu "occurence highlighting" did not appear without doing this.
Best wishes.
I'm trying to learn C++ using NetBeans but even though I have CYGWIN and everything set up in my PATH, I keep getting an error that says: "No shell found. Cannot proceed. Please install either CYGWIN or Msys."
I don't know what Msys is but since the error says "or" I assume that if I have CYGWIN that I don't need to have Msys.
I'm trying to run the basic "Hello World!" tutorial but this error from what I've seen isn't covered. I'm getting aggravated because I have a project I need to have done in a few weeks.
If anyone has any answers for me, that would be great. I can supply screenshots if you need them.
Cygwin alone is not enough, first of all you have to check if you installed C++/gcc/gdb packages in your Cygwin.
From Cygwin/Net beans docs:
Open the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) and double-click the System program.
Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
In the System Variables panel of the Environment Variables dialog, select the Path variable and click Edit.
Add the path to the cygwin-directory\bin directory to the Path variable, and click OK. By default, cygwin-directory is C:\cygwin. Directory names must be separated with a semicolon.
Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog and the System Properties dialog.
If it fails you could try to Re-Install Netbeans from/within an cygwin/bash instance start the netbeans from a cygwin/bash instance.
Netbeans should automatically detect gdb/g++
PS: I'd prefer to use a good Gnu/Linux distro
I had the same problem with 8.1.
Adjusting the %PATH%-variable - in my case adding C:\msys64\usr\bin - solved it (as wdavilaneto's slightly verbose answer suggested).
This is not an answer but it adds to this question, I know that isn't very objective but in this case there may be a problem with Netbeans. I have 7.3 so this could be the reason. I am getting the same error but it used to work just fine, then one day it just stopped working and couldn't find the Shell. I have everything you need to make C/C++ work for Netbeans and it was working, for a while too!
It is rather old, but I've had the same issue a moment ago. It "Solved itself" by Creating a new "welcome sample" project and then made it run, then went back to my original project and made it run again. For me, it solved the problem. Probably it is related to an issue with Netbeans as Cian said.
Btw, I'm with Netbeans 8.1.
Make sure the shell is in your path! Depending whether you have Cygwin, Mingw32, Mingw32, TDM Mingw... it will be somewhere here:
c:\<installation path>\usr/bin
Hmh, I have 2 C compilers one for 64bit and one for 32bit set in NetBeans. When I had 32bit compiler without 64bit one then compiling went fine but when I have installed 64bit then NetBeans has started to do some problems, firstly everything went fine but then I started to get this problem to. For me fix is to switch from 64bit compiler back to 32bit compiler, then compile my program and then go back to 64bit compiler and now I can compile it with 64bit compile... Not sure why is this fixing it.
I have this problem with Netbeans 10.
Computer is Windows 10 x64.
Resolved by following the answer given by TNT.
Problem was when start building my project the said "no shell" (the topic of this posting) dialog box popped up. Since there was no command prompt, the build tools cannot run - process cannot spawn.
Solution was to give the correct path (environment variable). Since I am using MSYS, Since I am using MSYS, adding
F:\msys64\usr\bin
to my PATH made it work.
